About this deal

Dead,” she said, and the weight of the last two nights crashed down on her at last. She tried taking a deep breath, but it turned into a sob. Another followed, then another. All she could see were Father Value’s eyes, cold and staring–the only part of his face she could even recognize under the blood and bruises.

Night Owls by Lauren M. Roy is a new urban fantasy series starring a new take on werewolves (adding in some creepy zombie elements), a couple of awesome heroines, solid friendships and sibling bonds, and an all-around intriguing new world! Night Owls borrows from more traditional fantasy in that it has several characters who all tell the story through multiple points of view, making it a well-rounded book with primary and secondary characters with surprising depth. I’m generally a bit stingy when it comes to urban fantasy since I’m such a fan girl of my favorite series, but Night Owls has managed to convince me to add another UF series to my must-read list! So when is book two coming out???? >.> Make sure to enter the giveaway (US only, sorry!) at the bottom of the post so you can enjoy this new series too! I grabbed Night Owls the first book in the new urban fantasy series by Lauren M. Roy for the setting. The tale takes place in the college town of Edgewood at a bookstore called Night Owls. Roy offered an engaging tale with a motley crew of supernatural and human characters. Mini review: With a new supernatural creature and interesting characters, it holds the promise of an exciting new series. Over the past 40 years, author Dr. Heimo Mikkola, has traveled to 128 countries to journal all 249 species of owls.We’re brainwashed to believe that early birds are happier, more successful, more disciplined and all-round better human beings than night owls. The hours when I feel most alive are considered ‘ungodly’ and likened to a vampire’s schedule. Owls like myself internalise this message, and we believe we must be lazy, depressed and irresponsible.”

But this isn’t always well understood. Jessica Batchelor is a medical writer who feels most productive at 11pm in the evening. “I can’t tell anyone when I went to sleep, woke up, showered, ate a meal, or took a nap without being judged,” she says. “I struggle with feelings of guilt and shame. You have probably watched a National Geographic documentary at some point. Now imagine a National Geographic documentary organized into a series of adorable illustrations, more like a picture book. Laura Marsh has done just that with National Geographic Readers: Owls. Laura Marsh has published over 20 books as an author and editor, including a few as part of the National Geographic Readers line. So, instead of having your kid sit through long documentaries, you could have them read the book series, including this one! A recent study of a modern-day hunter-gatherer tribe found that during a three-week period, there were only 18 minutes during which all of the 33 tribe members were asleep simultaneously.

Overall, this is a promising first book in a series, filled with action and moments of humor. The issues I had were not enough to make me want to give up on the series. In fact, the way it ended left me very curious to see what’s going to happen in the next book. I’m looking forward to seeing what else Lauren M. Roy has to offer! NIGHT OWLS has a fairly expansive cast. There's Valerie, the vampire bookstore owner, and her Renfield and another bookstore employee. There's Elly, a Creep-hunter out to avenge her mentor, and her estranged brother. (And a few allies.) You see, in the world of NIGHT OWLS there's more than one kind of human-eating monster. The Creeps are dying off, but they might've found a way to reproduce. It's up to the five good guys and their friends to stop them.
